I think it's easier to have a big general .conf nicely separated into categories than multiple .conf that have different names, and you have to remember how they are called when you want to fine-tune something developer-specific.

Another option would be to have config files that are structured something like:
<pre>
leap.conf - General settings
leap.<section>.conf - Settings specific to <section>
</pre>

And you can choose to separate the configs or leave them all together in leap.conf.
